Title: Mill Creek Watershed Young Forest Restoration Plan
Description: The Department of Parks and Recreation proposes to restore young forests (11-24 years old) by mechanically thinning (using chainsaws) approximately 941 hectares (3,325 acres) of formerly harvested stands to promote historic species composition, encourage rapid tree growth, and accelerate the development of late-seral forest characteristics. The project is located in the Mill Creek Watershed of Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park. A minimum of 185 trees per hectare (tph) (75 trees per acre (tpa)) will be retained after restoration and most stands will have at least 370 tph (150 tpa) retained. Prescriptions may be modified when necessary to protect sensitive resources such as rare plants or animals, wetlands habitats, cultural resources, and geologically unstable areas.
